Friday's Sound Off

Our great president snowed the American people when he said there would be no taxpayer dollars going to fund abortion. Planned Parenthood did 333,964 abortions in 2011 receiving 542 million in taxpayer dollars. Over the last three years they did almost a million abortions. I wonder what the funding was? Aren’t you tired of being lied to? No taxpayer dollars going for abortions. Amazing.

A TAXPAYER

I saw and read where Andy Reid, the former Eagles coach, got a new coaching position with the Kansas City Chiefs. It only took him four or five days to get rehired. This is after 14 years in Philly where he failed to deliver a championship even though he had a pretty darn good team for quite a few years. My only thought is it must be nice to be rewarded for failure. I wish that would have worked for me when I was working.

I would like to thank Eileen Schlegel, Courtney and the entire Pottstown Recreation Department personnel along with Neil and Nathan Fuerman, Nancy and Ricky Unruh and the volunteers at the Phillies Fire Company for a job well done at the polar bear event on New Year’s Day. Also I’d like to thank all the polar bears and spectators who came out to make this a very successful event.

I AM WATCHING

To the lady in Boyertown whose prescriptions went up, don’t blame Obama. It is the people who run Medicare. I was with United Healthcare RX. This year they moved most meds from tier one to tier three. I changed my plan to a much lower one. Medicare does not care how they spend our money. There are also so many people on Medicaid and disability that shouldn’t be there it’s pathetic.

We’d like to thank everybody for their help in 2012. Cat-Naps with the help of Forgotten Cats have found homes for about 80 cats taken off the streets. We also spayed and neutered between 300 and 400 cats last year. We want to thank everybody for their financial support, donations of food, litter, toys; it is all well needed. We all thank you especially the cats that you have helped.

VOLUNTEERS OF FORGOTTEN CATS AND CAT-NAPS

I know why we fly the flag at half mast but I find it disgraceful when the Pottstown Post Office flies their flag at half mast and it gets stuck on the roof in dirty water.

I can only find two cable companies around this area. Verizon, Comcast, Dish and Direct TV all have rotten service. Can anyone tell me if there’s anything else around here that provides cable for your television?

I agree with the person who said that parents are too busy with other things to know what their children are doing in school. In addition parents are too busy to teach their children how to act in public. In fact the parents themselves act as if they are children, having tantrums and causing chaos. This is not teaching responsibility. Our “adults” of our society need to grow up so our society is not overrun with children.

The Irish luck ran out at halftime.

Fraud alert. I received a phone call about an investigation with the postal service intercepting a package and there was a large amount of money with my name and address on it. An agent from U.S. Customs Border and Protection asked if I had played the lottery recently and that I had won over $2 million. Too good to be true? It was. He asked me for a refundable security bond of $1,890. Beware of a “Jerry Hunter” and “John Grant” claiming to be U.S. custom agents.

I’d like to know why the SEPTA buses ran on Christmas and New Year’s. All the money they’re making and nobody was going back and forth anyway and Pottstown didn’t even have their transportation out on the holidays. Maybe more people should be curious. All the big bucks they make and then you see them sitting alongside the college waiting. Get to your routes — pick up, drop off; if they’re not there, too bad.

CONCERNED TAXPAYER PAYING FOR THESE DRIVERS

In light of all these mass shootings I don’t feel anyone needs to have an assault weapon; gun control might be some of the way to slow things down but nut control would also be another asset to put in place. That would help too.

All you Obama voters who work, did you check your paychecks this week?

Congratulations to Cornerstone Family Church on the relocation of their church to Linfield in the former St. Clare Catholic Church. I hear amazing things are happening at this new church in Linfield.
